SE55737: PERFORMANCE ADVISOR: REFRESHING SESSION DOES NOT LOAD COMPLETED ACTIVITIES IF PROJECT CONTEXT NOT SAME AS BUILD CONTEXT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In RD AIX and Linux 9.0 and earlier Performance Advisor with
  scheduled activities and a synchronized project that uses
  multiple project contexts, refreshing the session after the
  scheduled activity has completed will quietly fail to load the
  activity if project's current context does not match the build
  context selected when the session was created.
  
  To load the completed activities, change the project context
  to the session's build context, then refresh the session.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of RDAL Performance Advisor's          *

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Refresh Session action for Scheduled    *
  *                      Activities may quietly fail to retrieve *
  *                      performance results.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The Scheduled Activities feature of RDAL Performance Advisor
  requires the user to manually refresh the Session when the
  activity is expected to be complete. If the Session is
  associated with a project that has multiple contexts, and
  the Session context is not the project's current primary
  context, the Refresh action will fail to retrieve the results
  of the scheduled performance run from the correct context,
  and no error indication is given.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RDAL 9.0.1 update.
